First of all, thousands of women had to work hard for months for one to get the role of Scarlett. Opposite to this, both Gable and Howard didn’t want to play their characters and were pursuit to it with money and other attraction deals. (such has divorce and movie producer deals). / Milhares de mulheres lutaram pelo papel de Scarlett mas os homens não queriam aceitar os seus papéis e tanto Clark Gable como Leslie Howard tiveram de ser persuadidos com dinheiro e negociatas (Gable recebeu um bom bónus para poder se divorciar da esposa e Leslie a tão desejada oportunidade para produzir um filme).

The second thing that impresses me is how bad is Leslie Howard portraits Ashley Wilkes. They should have let him go. He his reported to go on set not knowing his lines and was too old for the part (the actor was born in 1893). / Leslie Howard interpreta muito mal Asley Wilkes. Diz-se que chegava ao set sem saber as suas falas. Também era demasiado velho para o papel e sabia-o. (o actor nasceu em 1893).

The third thing impressing me is the irony of having the actress whose character dies first, still alive today. Olivia De Havilland played Melanie and is 91 years-old with birthday on July 1st. / A ironia de ser Olivia de Havilland a única a estar viva nos dias de hoje, quando no filme "Melanie" é a primeira a morrer. A actriz tem hoje 91 anos e fará 92 em 1 de Julho.

Leslie Howard died in 1943, during the 2nd WW. The plane he was on left from Lisbon and was shot down over the Bay of Biscay. Gable and Vivian died in the 1960´s, from a heart and tuberculosis disease respectively. / Leslie Howard morre em 1943 durante a 2ª GGuerra quando o avião onde seguia parte de Lisboa e é abatido na Baya de Biscay. Gable e Vivien morreram nos anos 60, ele de ataque cardíaco e ela de tuberculose, após anos enferma e em sofrimento.
